OK there was this time. I would have been about 10/11 years old. I was on the train coming home from school and I could see over into the next section of our carriage (old style set out) a really old woman sat on her own. I mean if she wasn't in her nineties than she was at least 89 !
She was weather beaten, red of face and beyond dishevelled. She kept glaring at me and not in a particularly nice way either.
When the train pulled into my stop I got up to open my door to alight and as I was doing so I looked up and she was standing up looking directly over at me. She then shouted at me "your a hees man you are, a hees man" (or thats what I thought she said !)
Anyway as I got off the train and made my way to the bottom of the stairs I turned to see if I could see her on the carriage as the train started to pass me and she was not there. She was not on the carriage I had just got off !
I got home quite shaken by this and I told my mum. She asked me a couple of times what this old woman shouted and I stated that it sounded like "hees man"
My mum looked quite shaken also and when I asked her what was up she told me that her mums (my nan) mums mothers maiden name was Heasman (that's four mums back including my mine !)
My mum said she had no idea who this woman could be !
I never saw that old woman ever again but I remember her stare and her words, "your a Heasman you are, a Heasman" !
I truly believe that woman was dead !
